Upon hearing this, Shawn’s anxiety was relieved by half. Ignoring the cold sweat on his forehead, he quickly motioned to Klein and reprimanded, “Why are you still in a daze? Remove the cuffs for Young Master Clarke immediately!” Klein was unwilling but had no other choice. He had to obey his eldest brother’s orders! He got up reluctantly, walked over to Philip, and took out the key to unlock the cuffs. However, due to nervousness, he did not manage to insert the key into the keyhole even after several attempts. It took a lot of effort before Klein removed the shackles from Philip's wrists. In that instant, the tightly wounded string in his heart also relaxed. Perhaps everything would be over with this. However, to everyone’s surprise, Philip did not stop there. Instead, he rubbed his wrists and said, “Although you just said that you’d give me a satisfactory explanation, I have to remind you that this matter is not going to end like this.” Everyone’s breath was stuck i
Klein also knew he had no other way out. He looked a lot older in an instant. He asked unwillingly, “Shawn, is that really him?” Shawn paused briefly before nodding. “He did that eight years ago. You’ve made the biggest mistake and now you have to bear the consequences.” After that, Shawn turned and left in a seemingly heartless fashion. Klein stood there alone, laughing aloud at himself. Then, he directly jumped out of the window! At the last moment, he stared resentfully at the people who left and shouted, “Philip Clarke, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost!” Boom! Philip listened to the commotion behind him without stopping. When Shawn walked out of the gate, he naturally heard the movement. A trace of unbearable sadness and helplessness flashed in his eyes. He said to his subordinates, “Bring Third Master Hane back home.” … Philip walked out of the Hane's private house, followed by Vivi and the others. “Aren’t you going to thank me?” Vivi suddenly ask
Martha shuddered and quickly replied, “No, nothing. I’m going to cook.” With that, she ran into the kitchen. Philip frowned but did not say anything. He sat in the living room fiddling with his phone. Martha hid in the kitchen, peeked at Philip furtively, and was relieved to see that he was not suspicious. She took out a small item from her pocket—a tiny earphone. This was something she had bought at the market in the morning. It was a listening device. She was in Philip and Wynn’s bedroom just now where she secretly installed the bug and was about to go downstairs to try it out when she unexpectedly ran into Philip. To keep herself busy for a while, Martha cooked chicken soup. When she was done, she wiped her hands and walked to the living room. “Philip, I’d like to ask you something.” Martha smiled and sat down. Philip nodded without raising his head and said, “What's the matter?” Martha hesitated for a long time before asking cautiously, “Last time, the old-fashi
“Have you found out who’s the boss behind the scenes?” Philip asked. Theo shook his head and said helplessly, “It’s very mysterious. We can’t find anything.” Philip frowned, sat for a few minutes, then got up before saying, “Okay, let’s wait and see.” He patted Theo on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, you’re my man. Whatever you want, I’ll get it for you.” Theo was very excited at his words and nodded respectfully. “Thank you, Mr. Clarke.” After that, Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and left the directors' office. Back at First Palace. In the living room at this moment, Martha stood on the side with a flattering expression. In front of her, a woman with elegant grace was sitting on the sofa. Giada Wallis. She had turned up at the villa. Vivian stood behind her while the Wallis family’s bodyguards were at the door. Ten minutes ago, Giada came and frightened Martha until she was stuttering. “Madam… Wallis, do you have any instruction
Sister-in-law? Wynn was stunned as she stared at the woman dubiously. Why did she call her sister-in-law? Wynn glanced around before asking tentatively, “Are you talking to me?” The other party smiled gracefully and said, “My name is Hannah Clarke.” Hannah Clarke?! Wynn was dumbfounded! Her eyes widened as she stared at the woman in front of her in disbelief. The more she looked, the more she thought this woman before her looked similar to Philip. “You... Are you really Hannah Clarke?” Wynn’s breathing became rapid. Sher covered her small mouth and blinked her big eyes. She was very excited! Philip's younger sister was also her sister-in-law? Did Philip not say she was dead? In that case, why was she standing in front of her and talking to her now? Wynn could not understand this and her mind went blank for a moment. When she recovered, the other party had already sat down, ordered a cup of coffee, and was smiling faintly as she said, “You must have a lot of qu
That was obviously impossible. Giada had been keeping a close eye on him after all. Yvette frowned and thought for a moment before replying, “I can't help you with this but maybe someone else can. I'll go back and find out for you.” Philip did not hold much hope either. He learned from George that forces like the Hull Organization were based overseas and had a complex background. The two chatted for a bit more before going their separate ways. This was a chance meeting after all. At this moment, however, a pickup truck full of people suddenly stopped in front of them! Their intentions were hostile! Philip raised his eyebrows. Was this an after-dinner entertainment? It seemed like they were here to pick a fight. With that thought, he stood in front of Yvette. Looking at the familiar back in front of her, Yvette's eyes flashed with surprise. The images of the previous incident also surfaced in her mind. At the same time, the passenger door of the pickup truck was open
“Revenge? Of course, but there’s no hurry. He hurt my boys, so he definitely can’t escape, or else, I can’t live up to my name of Ollie from North Street.” The brawny man had this planned out very well. He noticed that this was a remote place with not many people around. The other party only consisted of one man and one woman, so he was not afraid at all! However, when the brawny man was about to make a move, his eyes saw Yvette who was standing behind Philip. He was instantly shocked to the heavens and felt that his eyes were blinded at that sight! Too damn gorgeous! She was the best-looking woman he had ever seen! Ollie was the boss of North Street with 40 or 50 men under him. He could be considered someone with a bit of status. However, even he had never seen a beautiful woman like Yvette, especially one with the kind of domineering temperament! “Boss, are we making a move?” the guy on crutches asked. Gulp! Ollie swallowed a mouthful of drool, his eyes gleaming as
Today, Ollie brought his men to seek justice for him. If they backed down at this time, he would be embarrassed! Moreover, he believed from the bottom of his heart that the gun in the opponent's hand was a fake! How could anyone pull out a real gun in this society? However, as soon as the guy's voice fell, a deafening gunshot exploded in his ears! He watched with his own two eyes as the man shot at him with his gun. In a split second, he wetted his pants! At his age, he had never heard the sound of a real gunshot, let alone the sound of bullets passing his ears. It was so terrifying! For a moment, the guy on crutches became weak in his legs and could no longer stand. He staggered and fell to the ground while peeing his pants at the same time! The guy slumped on the ground and only came back to his senses after a few seconds. He started to shout and wave his arms hysterically! Realizing that the weapon was real, Ollie could no longer stay calm and quickly shouted, “Run!”
Aslan and the others were aware of Akash’s fake identity too. No one wanted to interact with him, but they had to greet him to avoid exposing themselves. At the same time, Marina arrived with her father and other family members. To be on the safe side, they did not meet Philip collectively but left some backup plans. “Marina, as your father, I have to remind you that I won’t treat him kindly if I find out that he’s not a good person,” the chief said solemnly. He felt a little uneasy at the thought of meeting his daughter’s crush. He wondered if Philip had a good character, how many people he had in his family, and whether he was worthy of his precious daughter. However, even if Philip was worthy, he would not agree to their relationship. After all, they belonged to two different species. What if they gave birth to a fish creature? The beautiful merfolk would never allow those ugly creatures to tarnish their reputation. “Dad, you think too much. I have no ideas about him
The call between the two ended after a brief exchange. Rodney smiled in disdain. He was aware of his mission, but he had no idea that the Loony he was looking for was right next to him. He only knew that Philip was quite strong and had many treasures on hand. “Everything will be different once I get the elf water. At that time, this bunch of stupid guys…” Although the demons could not comprehend the book very well, they understood the general content written on it. They needed elf water if they wanted to get rid of the identity of demons. Although it was harmful to them, it could purify their bodies in combination with certain spells. Unfortunately, they just found the secret and finally found the elves when they realized that someone had wiped out the elves, which was infuriating. Rodney found Philip because he knew that Philip had the elf water. Loony was his second mission.… The night passed quickly, and Philip and Loony were chatting so exuberantly that they forgot
“I have to take responsibility for it. Demons were not so strong back then. They became so powerful because of my book. That book can be considered a divine artifact, and its contents have a great effect on all creatures.” Philip was interested in Loony’s explanation. He wanted to know why the book had such a powerful effect. “Everyone always calls me a lunatic. Indeed, I do go crazy from time to time, but I never lose my awareness. I know what I should do and what the consequences will be if the book falls into the wrong hands.” Loony looked at Philip earnestly, clearly asking for a favor. In his opinion, only Philip could save him. “That book is the first half, and its content is difficult to understand. Even I could only comprehend a little. I hope you can help me get it back. If you succeed, I’ll give you the second half. It’d be best if you can practice it.” To be honest, Philip was not in favor of this suggestion. Practicing such things might affect his path and bring h
“Is that person human?” the chief grasped the key point and asked the crucial question. Everyone nodded. They knew Philip’s identity and did not care that he was human. They saw him as a friend. “I entered Philip’s world by chance, and he helped me return. If it weren't for him, those things would probably have killed me by now. They're very strong, indeed.” Marina felt a lingering fear when she recalled past events. She knew how powerful those ugly creatures were. The fish creatures had become very strong for some reason as if they could overwhelm the merfolk at any time. “He opened the passage to this world, sent me back, and restored our people back to health. We would've died if not for his help. Philip is our friend, not foe,” Marina defended Philip. The chief was heartbroken to hear his daughter defend a man like this. His precious daughter had grown up or she would not have said such a thing. “Okay, in that case, I look forward to seeing this young man named Philip
“If you don't save me right now, I’ll die and leave you with nowhere to go!” Abele screamed in her mind. Very soon, Akash felt a strong force surging over him. The strong force broke his hold and burned his hand. “Such a strong burning force. What did you encounter to become so powerful?” Akash was taken aback, surprised that Abele was so lucky and became so powerful. He was very envious and thought of taking the ability from her. “You don't need to worry about it!” Abele clutched her neck in fear and ordered the elves behind her. “Leave. Don’t fight this person head-on. His technique is very strange!” Abele took the lead and ran away, clearly afraid of the other party. Akash did not give chase. He thought it was enough to drive them away. He was afraid that the matter would get out of hand and attract Philip's attention. He still wanted to remain undercover, disguised as Akash. He had no idea that Philip had been hiding in the dark and watching as everything unfolded, no
“Don’t worry. He’s not as powerful as you think. Besides, you can take control of my body at the critical moment, can’t you?” Abele patted her chest confidently. Hearing that, the mysterious voice stopped wasting its breath on Abele. They arrived at Philip’s residence at this point. They were surprised to find the door wide open as if Philip was waiting for their arrival. “That’s strange. Does he always leave the door open, or is he prepared to deal with us?” Abele was puzzled and pushed the door open carefully. Maybe the door was too old, so it made a creaking sound, which was quite unpleasant. There was no one behind the door. “What’s going on?” The ugly elves entered the garden but only saw some empty teacups with no sign of anyone. “They must have heard the news and ran away in advance or this place wouldn’t be empty now!” Abele was disappointed that they ran so quickly. In reality, Philip had stuffed everyone in Verge Tower while he watched the scene in a hidden co
“Take this pill and you won’t have to go around with this scary face anymore. Even if it doesn't scare our women, it's not good to scare other people.” Philip helped Loony as a show of his sincerity. He was a pitiful man, after all. “That’s great. I’ve not seen a pill for many years!” He seemed to trust Philip and swallowed the pill Philip gave him without hesitation. He looked very satisfied as if he was Philip’s devoted follower. After he swallowed the pill, his injuries healed before everyone’s eyes, and he was soon back to normal. Loony was surprised by that powerful force and trusted Philip even more. Philip set a barrier around Loony and gave him a room to rest. The barrier he set could shield Loony and buy them some time. He knew that the ugly elves were right on their tail, and it was also about time for the merfolk to find them. Philip would be in trouble if everyone showed up at the same time. Therefore, it was better to conceal Loony and take care of the thin
“I’m running out of time. I have a curse on me, and they can find my whereabouts. I’ll die if you don’t help me.” “You said you can help me escape from this world. What do you mean by that?” Philip was more interested in this topic. After all, everyone would think that the world of the gods was a good place. Why would anyone choose to leave? Unless that person was a fool. This world was full of energy and resources. If humans were not seen as outcasts, Philip could not understand why anyone would want to leave. “This world is nothing but a huge cage. Those people are unaware of it because they're trapped inside. No one knows that they're nothing but the playthings of the so-called upper gods. They’ll be abandoned once the interest wears off one day!” Hearing that, Aslan came to a conclusion. This guy was no doubt a mental patient who should be sent to the hospital for treatment. “Philip, do you believe him? I think he’s nothing but a patient from a mental asylum.” Aslan f
“What’s this vintage family?” Philip had never heard of this family in all the worlds he traveled, so he had no idea what the other party was talking about. “My family is proficient in voodoo and has always used it to embark on the path of practice. But our powerful practice makes us a prime target for those with ulterior motives too.” The people of this family were very powerful, so everyone envied them and tried to harm them. “The members of my family led a normal life back then, but later, many people were deceived into marrying people of other races. As a result, the offspring of such pairings became monsters without legs! “We'd only find one normal child among a dozen children, which is a great blow to our family. No one could accept it! “I’m the only normal child among my batch of children, so I have a distinguished status. Something happened to my family after I was born, so I’m probably the last descendant of my family.” Philip was very excited to hear the other p
